Hi Jirka.
I have been stuck in a peculiar situation.
As I said before, after adding the '802-1x' settings. I am able to connect
to the WPA/WPA2-Enterprise network via "ActivateConnection" dbus-api.
However, if I pre-save the network-settings-profile (via python
configparser), and then load, I get the following error (I have not been
able to figure out the exact API call here, still in process; however, I
think that there may be some very basic error) ::
*1322623903.644373 ERROR dbus.service: Unable to append
({'802-11-wireless': {'security': '802-11-wireless-security', 'ssid':
dbus.ByteArray('MTNL')}, 'connection': {'timestamp': 1322623871,
'autoconnect': True, 'type': '802-11-wireless', 'id': 'Auto MTNL', 'uuid':
'c467a80dd4c64d7abc1ab94fa543f8f2438191b4'}, '802-1x': "{'ca_cert':
'file://usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/ca.pem', 'phase2_auth': 'pap',
'anonymous_identity': 'anonymous', 'eap': ['ttls'], 'password': 'hello',
'identity': 'John Doe'}", '802-11-wireless-security': {'key-mgmt':
'wpa-eap', 'pairwise': "['tkip']", 'group': "['tkip']", 'proto': 'rsn'}},)
to message with signature a{sa{sv}}: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: string
indices must be integers, not str*
Also, the NetworkManager logs (in /var/log/messages) are ::
*Nov 30 08:58:52 ajay NetworkManager[1478]: <info> couldn't retrieve
connection settings: Traceback (most recent call last):#012 File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/service.py", line 749, in
_message_cb#012 _method_reply_return(connection, message, method_name,
signature, *retval)#012 File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/service.py", line 256, in
_method_reply_return#012 reply.append(signature=signature,
*retval)#012TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str#012.*
Note that, if I remove the '802-1x' setting-parameters from the pre-saved
profile, I *DO NOT* get the *Error: string indices must be integers, not str
*error.
Anything basic that I may be doing wrong?
Regards,
Ajay
